A Ranger 2/Wizard 5/Something or other might be an interesting way to go. You probably wouldn't be able to get Dual Wand Weilder until Lvl 9, but you'd be able to use some divine wands. -Stuart

...and a pack of them could be easily tailored to fit the PCs' level. If one manages to escape, it could come back later as a Greater Barghest... -Stuart

Thanks! -Stuart

The rule as written is ambiguous. Gestalt classes are optional, and DM's can interpret them as they wish. That said, applying an LA to only one side of a gestalt character results in brokenness (as you have noticed). Assuming that LA +3 is equal to three levels of, say, rogue... you get...

What are your potential concerns? Dracolexi, if I remember correctly, adds spells to the Sorcerer's spells known list - so it is pretty powerful. Be aware that there is errata on some of the Power Word spells in Races of the Dragon. -Stuart

It makes a dip into Wizard awfully tempting for a high-Int scout. -Stuart

From PHBII: Seeking Ray (level 2 evocation) - a good choice... a ranged touch attack ignores cover and concealment (4d6 electricity) that gives you +4 to hit with subsequent ray attacks. Electric Vengeance wouldn't be bad either in case you get forced into melee... -Stuart

I'm playing a dwarf in a game in which dwarven culture wasn't really sketched out... so I made it vaguely Amish. Among other things, they wear a large-brimmed black hat with a chip of stone sewn into the inside. This represents a cavern ceiling, as they consider it improper not to have stone...

Okay, here's one: Gnolls Gnolls are scavengers and raiders, but - despite what others think - it isn't because they are lazy. Gnolls have a deep-seated respect for life, and will not take the life of another - even a plant - unless it can fight back. Thus, their lifestyle revolves around...

A Beguiler would, I think, be best. Warlock is doable if you dedicate invocations to detection and knowledge stuff, but they get few skill points. -Stuart

Nice. I wanted to keep the mad-wizard thing for nostalgia, but wanted it to make at least some sense. Cool idea. How did you model that? Constrict? -Stuart

Here is my take on goblins and owlbears . Harpies could use a makeover (in more ways than one). Any ideas? I agree about Ghouls. I like the idea of adding a few Scout levels to Ghouls and giving them the Dungeon Specialist class option - skittering, bloodthirsty hunters with a climb speed...

Wrong. Strangely, it isn't. What level, point buy, book sources, etc are we working with here? The halberd has two special abilities: (1) it does double damage when set against a charge and (2) you can use it to make trip attacks. It can also do both piercing and slashing damage, for what...

Are Dragon Shaman allowed in LG? A healer/dragon shaman might be interesting in a weird sort of way. Probably not optimized for anything in particular... but you'd have some offensive capability with the breath weapon and your auras would benefit from a high Charisma. -Stuart

No. Undead wouldn't be subject to the spell. It is a death effect. Undead are immune to those. -Stuart

Better house rule: The bonus to arrows from the Arcane Archer's Enchant Arrow ability is untyped. The arrows still count as magic weapons for overcoming DR. -Stuart

Hmmm... You get a lot of spell slots. I'd look at feats (or prestige classes) that allow you to burn spell slots for things you aren't particularly good at. Is there a divine version of arcane strike? Also, is Book of Exalted Deeds allowed? Do any of the beastmastery prestige classes give...

Now I must design a dungeon in which you enter at the middle... -Stuart

ummm...

This bears repeating. Seriously, you have some spells that you think you'll never cast (Rouse, for example). Don't forget about them. That one time that you need it, you'll be able to cast it... and it will be awesome as everyone looks at you and says, "You can do that?!" Also, a few of your...
